Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) said that under President Obama’s proposed executive amnesty plan will have “no enforcement will occur,” and the law “will be the effective end of immigration enforcement in America,” and “make it difficult, almost impossible to enforce the law.”

Sessions related conversations with Immigration and Customs Enforcement President Chris Crane on the impact of the president’s earlier executive amnesty. Sessions reported that he learned “the president’s previous executive amnesty for the so-called Dreamers basically halted enforcement for anyone who asserted protections under that new administration policy” from Crane.    Continue reading “Sessions: Executive Amnesty Will Make Immigration Enforcement ‘Almost Impossible’”

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration abandoned a corruption case against an Arizona border patrol agent after his attorney accused federal agents of entrapping his client, and spending federal dollars on strippers, plane tickets, and tickets to a Manny Pacquiao fight as part of their investigation.

A federal judge dismissed money-laundering and corruption charges against Customs and Border Protection agent Lauro Tobias Tuesday in response to dismissal motions from both the Department of Justice and Tobias’ attorney, which were filed within hours of each other July 25.   Continue reading “Obama Administration Spent Thousands On Strippers, Boxing Tickets In Failed Sting On Border Patrol Agent”

For an economy to grow and create actual wealth, innovation is a bedrock component in the development of enhanced prosperity. Prosperity is an intriguing concept. Simply making and accumulating money falls short of establishing a successful economic model. This recent report illustrates a prime example. Facebook stock soars, as company briefly passes IBM in market value. 

By most measures, Facebook is dwarfed by IBM: With about 7,000 employees, ten-year-old Facebook is on track to garner $12 billion in sales this year. The 103-year-old IBM has more than 400,000 workers and sold almost $100 billion of computer hardware and software in 2013.

I’ve always thought Australians were more blunt and forthright than Americans. I don’t know if that’s true, but the current debate about total surveillance in the Land Down Under is cutting to the bone.

The government wants to tax the Australian people so it can use giant telecoms to collect wall to wall “metadata” on them. (Pay us so we can spy on you.)   Continue reading “Australia, ‘better slave than dead’”

The House supplemental appropriations bill aimed at addressing the border crisis before the August recess would allow more unaccompanied alien children to stay in the U.S., increase the immigration bureaucracy, and add to existing immigration-court backlogs, according to an internal NumbersUSA analysis obtained byNational Review Online.

In its analysis of the bill, NumbersUSA, a group that advocates for less immigration, argues that the bill would create a new hearing process — a “235B” proceeding — for unaccompanied alien children (UAC) who do not express a credible fear of persecution, are not victims of trafficking, and do not volunteer to return to their country of origin (which presumably will include a great deal of them). The 235B proceeding must be completed before the standard removal process would begin.   Continue reading “Report: House Border Bill Could Make It Easier for Unaccompanied Children to Stay Here”

When asked whether legalizing illegal immigrants would help unemployed Americans, Rep.
